Fishing Report

Striped bass fishing is getting better every day with now plenty of bunker in the area and the fish are hungry after they have spawned in the Hudson River. Fish to 25 pounds being caught at Throgs Neck and Whitestone Bridges, Hempstead Harbor, Manhasset Bay.

There are plenty of bluefish mixed in with these stripers with bluefish from 12-13 pounds being caught along with alot of cocktails blues. Best bait Jack's fresh bunker, live eels, fresh clams and sandworms and bloodworms.

For the Fluke Fisherman fluke season opened up May 15 so you have to get out and use some squid and spearing on a bucktail or fluke rig in the areas of Prospect Point, Sands Points, Matinicock Point, Bayville and along all the bridges and barges.

Porgy season opens May 24 so get ready to catch some of that giant scup!
